This phone will not work with Verizon. It's a GSM phone and it is not a smart phone. You need a sim card for this phone.

The same thing happened to me. When you bring your own phone it doesn't count towards your upgrade. Just make sure it is a Verizon ready phone.

You'll have to ask Virgin Mobile. I would like to do the same thing but I don't think so. If they do please let me know. I'm sorry I bought this phone because I think I am locked in for 2 yrs. I had the top up plan before and loved it because I never hardly used my phone.

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

No you do not need a data plan to use this phone. I have AT&T; text & talk only and was able to add it to my plan. It is capable of data if you were to upgrade your plan to data but again not required.

I doubt it, honestly. I just got my Storm from verizon, and the rep told me that all of their smartphones are required to have a data plan. I doubt they would program the phone for you without the data plan.

I checked with Verizon and Jodie is correct. If you had both this and your contract phones for 6 months, then wanted to use this one on your contract (or regular account after contract ends), you could then switch it over. The prepaid is about as cheap as my new plan on Verizon (unlimited talk, unlimited text, 250M data), so I'll keep my plan as long as the current phone works and just switch over to prepaid and this phone with my number at that time.

Yes you can. I had the same situation. You can actually call Verizon to change phones.

Not sure exactly but I just ordered/bought phone before Christmas, and just called Verizon and switched/transferred old one to this new one with no problems and it works just fine. However, I did but now no longer have a contract with them since mine expired a few years ago, but still using same plan and company......so it shouldn't matter. This phone is exactly as my old phone, just newer is all.

If I buy 90 day plan and the minutes, data, text is not used in 90 days, does it roll over or is it lost?

We were told we could use this phone, so we bought it. When we called we had to switch to a plan for $20. A month. So when our money is come, so is Virgin mobile. What a rip off they are. Stay with your flip phone.

Verizon rep told me that I don't need a data plan for it. I'm replacing a phone without a data plan.Perhaps other people are replacing phones that were under contract with a data plan, so they would still have to keep the plan until their obligation is over?

I am no longer with Verizon but when I had this phone it did not require a data plan last year. Within your online Verizon account you can select what data plan you want and the way to get around paying for a data plan is to select a "pay per use" plan that will only charge for data if you go online and use data. If you don't want to pay for a data plan I would go for the pay per use option but if you do plan on using data I would choose a plan. You can do all of this in you online Verizon account once you have the phone!

yes you should not have a problem the phone ESN shows as clear and ready for activation via swappa.com ESN check

Yes. Just remove the SIM card from your previous smart phone. (You will need to have a data plan on your current contract) Place your SIM card in the new phone. The device will run through a wizard set up, soon after it should connect to the Verizon services.

Once u switch phone no it will not, same thing happened to us. Once u switch u have to pick new plans Verizon offers

Yes. Phone activated perfectly on the Verizon network. I would urge you to activate via phone. They will not try to sell you another data plan, nor newer phone. Just ask them to do a "device switch". This should not disrupt your current data plan...( I.e. unlimited data).
